matthew1980

hi

I came here to know what my score means as the diagnosis letter is a load of junk.

aq = 33

eq = 26

cast = 23

thanks for all your help

Parents

  • If it is not possible for you to have a parent there, or feel they would be misleading in your diagnosis there other means of testing but it seems that it depends on where you go for your diagnosis as to whether they can offer these alternatives.

    Odiously some people may not have any parents still alive so they are either given one of the alternatives or they get a kind of incomplete diagnosis (it has a special name but I cant remember what it is called right now) You are still officially classified as being on the spectrum though. They are kind of saying you are on the spectrum but we cant be 100% sure as there was no parent present.

    If you feel that having your father there would be detrimental to your diagnosis then say so and see what they say.

    Personally I think the CAST test should not be used with adults and should just be used when diagnosing children.
